It has been quite an effort to prevent Infidels from getting the wrong (that is to say, the right) impression of Islam, at least until such time as Muslims in the West currently singing the praises of “pluralism” no longer have need for Infidel good will and tolerance.
...
The use of the word in Qur’an and Hadith, and constantly through 1350 years of Muslim history, has certainly endowed the word “Jihad” with a meaning of struggle, usually through military means, to expand the domain of Islam.

Almost all Muslims understand that “warfare” (qital, qatala) is the essential meaning of the word. But Infidels, who prefer to think otherwise, have eagerly snapped up little guides such as that put out a few years ago by Karen Armstrong, a complete apologist and no scholar of Islam

A long article, but well worth the read.

I can also tell you that I'm getting pretty tired of the word Infidel, and those who use it.
Don't let anyone tell you it is not a pejorative.

I kind of like it now, wear it as a badge of honor:

Say it LOUD! I'm and INFIDEL and I'M PROUD!
